Details Emerge in Death of Dr. Donda West, Kanye Issues Statement

Kanye West’s mother, Dr. Donda West, died on Saturday night (November 10) at the Centinela Freeman Regional Medical Center in Marina del Rey. The Associated Press reports that Dr. West was brought to the hospital by paramedics who responded to a 911 call from her home at around 7:35 p.m. Deborah Ettinger, a vice president at the hospital, says that she was not breathing when she arrived at the emergency room at around 8:00 p.m., and doctors were unable to resuscitate her. She was pronounced dead at 8:30 p.m. According to website TMZ.com, Beverly Hills plastic surgeon Dr. Jan Adams has stated that he performed a tummy tuck and a breast reduction on the 58 year-old former English professor, but has denied that her death was the result of any error on his part. Dr. Adams also speculated that Kanye’s mother may have died from a heart attack, pulmonary embolism, or massive vomiting. Lt. Fred Corral, a spokesman for the county coroner’s office, said that initial information pointed to “complications of surgery” as the cause of death, and that an official autopsy was scheduled for Wednesday (November 14).

Adams told TMZ that Dr. West had consulted with him about the surgery for four months, and had changed her mind several times. It is not clear exactly when or where Adams performed the surgical procedure. Another Beverly Hills plastic surgeon, Dr. Andre Aboolian, has also come forward and stated that he refused to perform the same surgical procedure two weeks ago because of an existing medical condition that could have resulted in a heart attack. Dr. Aboolian’s publicist, Jo-Ann Geffen, says the surgeon told Dr. West that she needed to obtain medical clearance before he would be comfortable moving forward with the procedure. “He feels terrible because he said she was such a sweet lady,” Geffen said. In response, Dr. Adams told TMZ that Aboolian was “manipulating the truth to elevate his own importance,” but would not elaborate.

The West family has not commented on the cause of death, but Kanye released the following statement on Monday night (November 12):

“Kanye West, his family and friends would like to thank everyone for the outpouring of support and kind words that have come in from across the country since the death of his mother, Dr. Donda West.

After working in higher education for 31 years, Dr. Donda West and Kanye West co-founded the Kanye West Foundation with the mission of helping to combat the severe dropout problem in high schools across the country.

The first and signature initiative of the Kanye West Foundation is Loop Dreams. Designed to capitalize on students existing interest in hip-hop, Loop Dreams challenges students to learn more about what’s behind hip-hop culture in order to help them develop skills, express themselves creatively and be empowered.

In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made in Dr. West’s name to the Kanye West Foundation/Loop Dreams Teacher Training Institute.”

According to KOCO Channel 5, the West family has contacted the Howard-Harris Funeral Home in Oklahoma City to make funeral arrangements. Dr. West was raised in the city and graduated from Douglass High School in 1967.

Shut the fuck up , how can you say something like that, KAnye west never lead other people’s children to a far place across the world to fight for another nations natural resources, All he does is make music man , atleast if you don’t like Kanye’s music you can turn it off, you can not turn off this greedy war that Bush started, get your fact right dick head.

MR. UNDISPUTED THE MOGUL,
Point is dude be rapping a lot about plastic surgery and his mom died from that same ish…Trust me I cant imagine what he is going through, but that has to change your perspective on material, and trivial shit. Chill out with your self righteousness, you aint schooling no one. And don’t group me with Mr. Invisible, that ignorant ish he talking.

First and foremost, Fuck the “Invisible-Men” Of this country… My Condolences to the West Family… Very Much Fuck Bush…and to my beautiful brothers and sistas, come on… This is another prime example of why we should love ourselves as who we are, and how GOD intended us to naturally be. You are YOU…And no one else should change that…bottom line. Philly Stand Up! Bush Step Down!

“FRED” I’M NOT TRYING TO BE SELF RIGHTEOUS, SCHOOL ANYONE OR GROUP ANYONE TOGETHER, HOWEVER 1,000′S OF WOMEN GET BREAST REDUCTIONS EACH YEAR & IT’S NOT ALWAYS TO CHANGE THEIR LOOKS BUT BECAUSE OF THE INTENSE BACK PAIN THAT THEY FEEL EACH DAY!!! I’VE NEVER HEARD KANYE RHYME ABOUT THAT. HE’S TALKING ABOUT ALL THE UNNECESSARY SHIT (BOTOX,ETC.)WOMEN DO TO TRY & LOOK BETTER! IT’S UNFORTUNATE THAT SOMEONE WOULD THROW HIS LYRICS IN HIS FACE AT THIS TIME. BIGGIE WAS GREAT & WHEN HE DIED, I DON’T REMEMBER PEOPLE TALKING ABOUT HIM SHOOTING PEOPLE IN HIS RHYMES SAYING “WOW HOW IRONIC HE TALKED ABOUT SHOOTING PEOPLE & NOW HE GOT SHOT”.

Fred

MR. UNDISPUTED THE MOGUL,

You dont remember people talking about the irony in Big and Pacs lyrics related to thier deaths????
Good point about back aches, but tummy tuck? Hope Kanye changes his view on body image and vanity. The message he is sending our young women is not healthy.

Ya’ll stupid mothafuckas need to stop being funny about the death of Dr. West. No matter what Kanye do and say when it comes to his music, this tragedy is on a totally different level. Show some respect and have a little class. The Money Eye family is praying for Kanye and his entire family. Stay strong dowg, even though it’s hard. And for the haters, go get a fucking life, you idle mothafuckaz.

Mr KCMO

I lost my mother 7 years ago to Crack…..different circumstances same tragedy. My heartfelt condolences to Kanye and his family. I am sure with Dr. West’s intelligence, her decision to have plastic surgery was well researched and thoroughly thought through. My donation to the foundation will be made later tonight.

Invisible Man

In about a year you guys will forget that shes dead and will be on XXL commenting on another topic thread. So cut all the fakery out. Go take a bath dirty hoodlums. Dont mess with the Bush Admin filth buckets!!! George Bush is the best president ever!!! You guys need to “get your paper up.”

RIP Dr WEST
Kanye keep on shining

Holiday

there is no need to disrespect her because you think she wouldnt care about anyone else. no one is asking for your comments its optional so if someone wants to express how they feel it shouldnt be anyone elses problem.

Peru

You can’t blame the doctor for her death!!! Its was cosmetic surgery, meaning OPTIONAL, and even though she was told that her life could be in serious risk she still went on with an unecessary procedure that resulted in her death, which is very unfortunate, but if anyone is to be blamed for her death its her, the overly conscious ego wouldn’t allow her to look past her physical being and she died because of it, I see where Kanye gets his ego, and I won’t pray for him cuz I don’t know the man and had he been a janitor you wouldn’t give a flying fuck either, fucking celebrity leaches!!!
